    I think you or they added two extra ands, because the pub isn’t “Pig And And Whistle.”

      More space between pig and and as well as between and and whistle.

        Yes but they have two too many, go count it.

          They refer to the same and twice.

            then it should be separated by comma after the first and and

          It is indeed a very convoluted way of making the requests. I would say more space between each word.

            Ah see this one makes more sense but since it is a single sentence clause two of them are still redundant.

      Nah, it’s referring to the first space by grouping the first and second words, “Pig” and “And,” and then referring to the second space by grouping the second and third words, “And” and “Whistle.”

        They said and “And” and “And” and “Whistle” tho, thats 2 extra.

          “The Pig And Whistle” asked a sign writer to make a new sign.

          I want more space between “Pig” and “And”

          and

          [more space between] “And” and “Whistle”

            Ovahea’s comment as I copy and paste is

            Pig and And and And and Whistle”.

            So if you remove the bonus ands, it becmes “Pig And And Whistle”.

              But as someone else pointed out it’s the same “and”. The sign has three words on it. Between the words are spaces. How many spaces are there? What on either edge of each space?

                Okay I concede that it works, albeit it requires a comma, but it also works without the redundant ands

      “Pig and Whistle” is what they’re asking for.

        But they gave instructions for “Pig And And Whistle” in the comment I replied to.

          Pig & And, And & whistle. It’s focusing on the conjunctive. ’And’ is repeated because it is pertinent in both phrases.
